ConstructionFinlaggan is worked in one piece from the bottom up. The fronts and back are cast on in one piece. Inset pockets are added and waist shaping created by working rib on smaller needles. Sleeves are knitted in the round, and underarm stitches are set aside on both sleeves and body, before being joined together in the yoke. The yoke is shaped with raglan decreases then stitches are picked up along the fronts, and a wide rib is worked, with short row shaping to create the collar.
